MEGYIK, János
Sculptor
(Szolnok, 8th October, 1938 – )
Between 1950 and 1954 Megyik studied painting from Károly Harmos in Rév-Komárom (CSZ), after which he moved to Budapest. Between 1954 and 1956 he studied at the High School of Fine and Applied Arts in Budapest, then emigrated to Vienna in 1956. From 1956 to 1961 he studied at the Fine Arts Academy of Vienna, his masters were R. Ch. Andersen, J. Dobrowsky, and H. Boeckl. He acquired his diploma at the Applied Arts Academy of Vienna. Between 1969 and 1978 he also worked in the field of design. He has been dealing with the structure of table images and the reflexology of sight since 1963, his attitude has been determined ever since by projective geometry. Between 1970 and 1972 he materialized his spatial concept through metallic sculptures, then switched to the usage of wood as his main material, and broadened his scope of work to incorporate the production of architectural base drawings. In 1972, together with Álpár Bujdosó, he recited the research work entitled A semi konstrukciója /The Construction of Nothingness/ at the first conference of the Magyar Műhely /Hungarian Workshop/ in Marly-le-Roi. He prepared the first photogram of his work entitled Fakonstrució /Wooden construction/ in 1977. He also began depicting human forms during the course of the 1980’s. In 1985 Megyik won the tender award of the Congressional Center of Vienna, as well as the Kassák Award of the Magyar Műhely /Hungarian Workshop/ in Paris. In 2005 he received the Knighthood Cross Honor of the Hungarian Republic. In 1987 he traveled on a study tour to New York. During the course of the 1990’s he interpreted the study of perspective though projective geometry in his relief works and steel plates and defined the picture plane as one of the geometrical elements of the space of the image. In 1997 he was awarded the Munkácsy Award. He began working in the village of Kötcse, in the county of Somogy. In 1999 he traveled to Rome on a study tour with the scholarship of the Hungarian Academy. The essence of the oeuvre of Megyik may be found in the independent, subjective poetic geometry of his works.
